Description: It would be really useful to have an rss feed available of recently orphaned packages so people can subscribe and adopt packages they know/use. It would make orphans more visible and hopefully decrease the number of orphaned packages.
This task depends upon

If these are [community] packages, you can't adopt them unless you're a TU. If they have been dropped to the AUR, that's another story. I think the simplest way would be to periodically run aurphan.
Maybe you can write a script that will list packages that were in the repos last week but are not in the repos now. Some packages may have been renamed, merged, moved to another repo (e.g. extra2community [1] ) or removed altogether.

Bigger cleanups are usually documented: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Christmas_Cleanup


You can view the list of orphans in the repos sorted by 'Last Updated' date: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=last_update&limit=50&maintainer=orphan but not all of them can be dropped to [community] or AUR.

You should check either svn/git https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/log/ . So create some fancy hook that creates an rss feed , which archweb can use :D
